Title:
  default desktop installer creates misaligned partition

Status in partman-base:
  New
Status in “partman-base” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed Precise Beta 2 (desktop amd64) and it created the following partition table on my ssd:
  $ sudo sfdisk -d /dev/sda
  # partition table of /dev/sda
  unit: sectors

  /dev/sda1 : start=       63, size=245874762, Id=83, bootable
  /dev/sda2 : start=245874825, size=  4192965, Id= 5
  /dev/sda3 : start=        0, size=        0, Id= 0
  /dev/sda4 : start=        0, size=        0, Id= 0
  /dev/sda5 : start=245874888, size=  4192902, Id=82

  The alignment check says it's not optimally aligned:
  $ sudo parted /dev/sda align-check opt
  Partitionsnummer? 1
